Café Kim was open for a rare dinner seating for an exclusive couple, Dad and Juliette for Father’s Day. The evening’s festivities included a family video conference, which lead Dad to comment how technology has made keeping in touch a richer experience despite the distance.

The changing of the Picture of the Moment is way overdue and I’m going with another Meredith Mullins photo that once again is sooooo Paris, a clown texting, all that is missing is a cigarette.

A clown photo demands proper music I reasoned and immediately thought of Stephen Sondheim’s Send in the Clowns. YouTube had a number of clips of various performers singing the song, but none struck me as Sondheim, they were Sinatra, Streisand or Dench doing Sondheim. Then I came across this clip of Sondheim teaching a class.

UPDATE: A reader asked if I knew the name of the student, a bit of digging in the YouTube comments revealed her to be Jaye Griffiths a British stage and TV actor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaye_Griffiths http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0341694/

Good to know that someone with such a beautiful voice has had a successful career.
